Discover PLUS Course Handbook Archive

Following any great product launch there will always be remaining items on the wish list. Since the successful launch of Discover PLUS, we’ve received many requests for access to PLI Course Handbooks published from 1984 – 2008. Adding this Course Handbook archive to Discover PLUS remains our top priority and should be available soon. In the interim, PLUS subscribers can send any requests for archival materials our way—please include the title, the year in which the book or chapter was published, and any other citation information—and we’ll do our best to obtain those for you ASAP.

Send archive requests to libraryrelations@pli.edu or call 877-900-5291.

PLI Content No Longer Available Via Westlaw

From November 1st, 2012 onwards, no PLI content will be available on Westlaw.

After a twenty-five year partnership with Westlaw, PLI content will no longer be accessible via the Thomson Reuters Westlaw site. PLI was unable to reach an agreement for ongoing distribution by Westlaw of PLI content, including both PLI Course Handbooks and PLI Treatises.  Presently and in the future, you may continue to access all PLI Treatises on Bloomberg Law.

PLI continues to offer access to our Course Handbooks, Treatises, Answer Books, Legal Forms and Program Transcripts via the Discover PLUS eBook platform. Please feel free to contact your PLI account manager, Library Relations at libraryrelations@pliedu or (877) 900-5291 or Customer Service at (800) 260-4754 with any questions or concerns.
